Faxing the parties in a Kern County deal
Much of the faxing around a Kern County property matter is between the parties — a title company, a lender, an escrow agent, an attorney — not to the recorder. The title company assembling the file often collects recorded copies and releases from the parties by fax. For those, online fax sends the document without a machine and returns a delivery confirmation to keep with the file.
Why recording in Kern County is not a fax
In Kern County, an instrument reaches the public record through the recorder's office as a signed, notarized original — a fax does not stand in for it. The instrument is indexed by grantor and grantee once recorded, and a stamped copy comes back to the submitter. For anything that is not the recording itself — a copy, a search, correspondence — fax can still be the right tool.
